I was learning the system. How do I (or moderators here) delete the first two, repetitive photos I posted on F-14 BuNo 161422. Those two photos I would like deleted are at these two specific links in the "Aircraft" section; both hav LTJG Thomas Prochilo as the photographer (but is not the whole story):
The remaining photo on airport-data.com , then, is the one of my piloting that F-14 while intercepting a Russian TU-95 "Bear" on March 19, 1983, when I was the 'CAG LSO' in CVW-7 flying with VF-142. I credit the picture as taken by my wingman's F-14 RIO, LTJG Thomas Prochilo.
The Navy Carrier Group Commander sent the 'pretty picture' to the US Press Corps, and the photo ended up in Newsweek Magazine a short time later (picture of the Newsweek 'blurb' is attached below). In 2011, a Russian crew member (English translator on radio comms) IN THAT VERY BEAR AT THAT MOMENT THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN actually found the picture on my FB page, checked his logbook, and emailed me!! See the conversation with him, Vecha Platonov, there. We are good 'FB Friends.'
Anyway, I am hoping the other two pictures linked above can be deleted... by someone... somehow. Thanks... Greg "Magic" Quist CDR, USN (ret)
